B) There is no evidence of the effect of the instruction through teaching of language.
C) There is no evidence for the effect of reinforcement in language development.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The fact that the brain reacts differently to syllables indicates that it is hardwired to recognize sound patterns in language. This does not provide evidence for or against the effectiveness of instructions or reinforcement in language development, nor does it support nativism as the only theoretical approach to language development.
